Mumbai: Superstar Aamir Khan who was keen for making the 'Mahabharata' has now been taken over by the filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
The actor was really excited to make the movie, but instead on his 54th birthday, he announced that he would be remaking 'Forrest Gump' as 'Laal Singh Chaddha' in Hindi and was working to get into shape for the film.
Aamir's Mahabharata is now rumoured to be a web series, which will be made later. Meanwhile, Mehra is planning to produce a film on the Mahabharata.
According to the sources, the filmmaker has even registered a title with the Indian Motion Pictures Producer's Association (IMPPA).
A source said, “The film is going to be called Mahabharata: The Greatest Battle Ever Fought. It is not clear if Rakeysh would be directing it, but he has applied for the said title with the IMPPA."
The actor and filmmaker were earlier seen working together for the film 'Rang De Basanti'.
